So this is not my first time starting a blog. I made one instead of a true farm website back in '09; and to be honest, it was terrible. I only posted a few times, and my wording was absolutely awful! * Oh, disclaimer: I am still not an english major. I have terrible spelling, and sometimes I ramble and lose focus.* This blogging thing will hopefully help improve my brain to paper skills..Maybe ;)...
Ideally no one will read this, ever. And I can just rant about my feelings... Anyways, in the case these are read; this should be a place where I document some of the things I have seen and done while being a shepherdess. All the diseases I have encountered, and how I treated them. Clinics I have been to; wisdom nuggets I have heard. People I have met, etc... Hopefully it can all provide some help for other farmers out there who are lost, and have no idea what they are doing (like me!). Every time I had a problem I could not solve, or a interest in a subject, I would hit the web. There are so many people sharing their farming experiences, and seriously, everyone of them helped me. Even those forums where people just bounce ideas off each other, are full of pure gold! I am so grateful to every person who has ever decided to post about their lambs, kids, fillies, or pups online. Most of my animals "cures" were paraphrased from remedies I found online (plus a bit of my own intuition)... So, to conclude my 'first' post I should probably introduce myself! I am Isabelle, and I am currently 20 years old, and supper tall (6ft). I study at Quinsigamond Community College, which I can't stand, but it's fine until I get to UMASS Amherst. I was in 4-H for around 11 years, and have been raising sheep for 9years. I love animals more then I can say, so I like to surround myself with them. Not saying that I don't have loving and talented human friends as well, which I DO! Just that I really love, and understand all sorts of animals... Well, that's my bio in a nutshell. If you would like to know anymore, check out the about us page... Well I'm not very good at endings, so i'll just leave... Thanks for listening lovelies! <3 <3 - Belle

AuthorHey! I'm Isabelle, and I have experienced a lot of crazy things with my sheep. From triplet births, to crushed nerves; it's all apart of the job. My mom always tells me that I should write it all down... So here ya go! :) ArchivesCategories |
